General Information for Dog Owners

A stray dog with a tag can be easily reunited with its family if lost. Please help us to protect your pet by purchasing a dog tag. Tags are available at the Southgate Municipal Office. It is important for dog owners to know that in the interest of public safety, no person shall allow a dog to run at large in the Township. Any dog found running at large is in contravention of the Township of Southgate Canine Control By-law and may be seized and impounded by the Canine Control Officer. The Canine Control Officer may enter on any public property, or private property with the consent of the owner or tenant, for the purpose of capturing any dog running at large.
